This is the new Zotye T500, and it is surprisingly original for the infamous ripoff automaker. Sure there are some influences visible here and there, Skoda comes to mind, but overall it is almost as if the Zotye designers had a real idea of their own. And it didn’t turn out that bad…

Zotye surprised on the Shanghai Auto Show with this new T500 SUV. It looks rather good for a Zotye and it isn’t really a copy of anything, which is even better. But the T500 is yet another SUV in the already over-crowded lineup, where it will fit just under the Zotye T600.

This is the new Zotye Damai X5, it was unveiled earlier today on the Shanghai Auto Show in China. The Zotye Damai X5, formerly known as the Zotye T500, is a new mid-sized SUV that will be launched on the Chinese car market in the second half of the year. Zotye has been quite busy with the design, earlier on it had a Range Rover grille, and later on we saw a grille with the Zotye Z.

New Spy Shots of the upcoming Zotye T500 SUV from China, showing an entirely new grille. No matter that, it still looks a big tad too much like a Volkswagen Tiguan. The Zotye T500 is a new compact SUV, it will debut on the Shanghai Auto Show next month and launch on the Chinese car market soon thereafter.
